Key to Princeton's domination was the strong midfield play, led by senior Josh Sims, who had three goals and an assist on the day. With pressure coming from the front of the cage, the Tigers were free to leave a man behind the goal to back-up errant shots, causing the Crimson to spend a long time in its own end.

Dumont hit again at 4:30 in the first period in a spectacular individual effort. After running into trouble in the center of the zone, the freshman spun to his right only to meet another Harvard defender. After spinning back to his left, he was sandwiched between two Crimson players. Dumont stepped through the double team with his stick above his head and found open space.

From there it was an easy walk in on a helpless Cynar.

Sims scored 25 seconds later off a pass from attackman Matt Streibel to stretch the lead to 3-0.

Princeton looked at home on Cynar's crease throughout the game. Tigers attackman B.J. Prager, who had four goals in the game, had a couple of quick-sticks--goals that are more one-touch flicks then shots.

The Crimson was outshot 51-29 on the evening.

The second stanza saw much of the same, with Princeton spending long periods in the Crimson's offensive zone.
